I feel bad

Because I am the mother of a wiener dog and a bird and because my husband is a sweet man, I was given these beautiful flowers.We celebrate mother's and father's day with some kind of little gift or a card. Anyways, I love flowers but I have always had a hard time with them because they smell like a funeral home. It's a very distinct smell and it is one that is ingrained in my brain (or nose). It can be a trigger for me and kind of bring me down. I know it is a weird thing because of it just being a smell, but our senses hold a lot of memories. The smell of a certain perfume or clothes or someones home can bring you right back to a certain time frame in your life. These lovelies stayed in our house a couple days and the smell was really just to much for me. Now they reside on our patio in the backyard.I feel bad because someone goes out of their way to do something nice and then I put their gift outside.Sorry , Honey.
